“…These results are compatible with other studies (19,20). As documented in other studies, the ACS signs and symptoms affect patents' physical functions and impair their physical ability (21,22). Having a diagnosis of ACS represents a life-threatening event that may result in physical limitations due to the signs and symptoms of the disease (e.g.…”

“…AMI was defined as the experience of ischemic symptoms with or without significant ECG changes, and a change in troponin level [ 28 ]. While QOL status of post-AMI patients in Trinidad has not been investigated, relevant studies have been conducted in other countries using a range of different times post AMI: for example, 1 month ( N = 160) [ 29 ], 2 weeks to 3 months [ 30 ], 3 months ( N = 132) [ 31 ], 1 to 12 months ( N = 4340) [ 32 ], 6 to 12 months ( N = 587) [ 33 ], 4 years ( N = 900) [ 34 ], and an unknown time period ( N = 2950) [ 35 ]. These studies reveal wide variation in time and sample sizes.…”

BackgroundOutcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may result in death, increased morbidity, and change in quality of life (QOL). This study explores health-related QOL of first-time patients following AMI.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used a sample of patients with first-time AMI experienced between April 2011 and March 2015 at a tertiary health institution. Recruited patients belonged to different post-AMI periods: 2–10 weeks, 5–22 months, and > 22 months to 4 years post AMI. Inclusion criteria were not confused and communicating freely. Exclusion criteria were non-contactable, refusing to participate, and deceased. One-on-one interviews were conducted using the validated and pre-tested Quality of Life after Myocardial Infarction (QLMI) questionnaire. QOL of patients after AMI was evaluated at each period. Descriptive, Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis, and regression analyses were conducted using SPSS version 24.ResultsA total of 534 participant interviews (overall response rate 65.4%) were conducted. Interviewees were predominantly male (67%), aged 51–65 years (45%), Indo-Trinidadian (81.2%), NSTEMI (64.4%), and hypertensive (72.4%). Overall QOL improved over time and in all domains: Emotional, Physical, and Social. Lower QOL was found among women, patients with NSTEMI, and diabetics in all domains; in patients with hypertension and renal disease in the Physical and Social domains only; and in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in the Physical domain only. Self-reported stress and lack of exercise were associated with lower QOL while drinking alcohol and eating out were related to better QOL. Hypercholesterolemia, smoking, and ethnicity showed no association with QOL. Declining QOL in the Physical domain with age was also found. The leading components of QOL were self-confidence and social exclusion (early post AMI), lack of self-confidence (intermediate post AMI), and tearfulness (late post AMI).ConclusionsQOL in AMI survivors improves over time. Female gender, NSTEMI, diabetes, hypertension, renal disease, stress, and lack of exercise were associated with lower QOL while hypercholesterolemia, smoking, and ethnicity showed no association with QOL. Cardiac rehabilitation and psychological support may enhance earlier increased QOL among survivors, particularly among vulnerable groups.

“…Myocardial infarction (MI) has an important place in ischaemic heart diseases. It commonly appears during productive age, together with acute postrhythm problems, heart failure, angina and recurrence of MI . The social, psychological and physical problems that occur after MI affect the quality of life and self‐efficacy and make it difficult to adapt to lifestyle change .…”

Background Patients’ lifestyle changes after myocardial infarction reduce the risk of infarction. Nursing interventions are important for the initiation and maintenance of lifestyle adaptation. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of education and telephone follow‐up intervention based on the Roy Adaptation Model for improving myocardial infarction patients’ self‐efficacy, quality of life and lifestyle adaptation. Method In this parallel, randomised controlled trial, patients were randomly allocated to a control group or an intervention group (n = 33/group). The control group received routine care, while the intervention group received routine care plus a telephone follow‐up intervention, which consisted of a predischarge education programme and three telephone follow‐up sessions. Data were collected before discharge, in the 12th week after discharge between April 2016 and August 2017. All outcomes were assessed at baseline and at 12 weeks, and included quality of life, coping adaptation process, self‐efficacy and lifestyle changes. The CONSORT checklist was used in the study. Results In the 12th week after discharge, patients in the intervention group had significant improvements in self‐efficacy, quality of life and coping adaptation process compared with the control group. The intervention group also had more adaptation lifestyle changes concerning patients nutrition and physical activity in the 12‐week follow‐up. Conclusion This study demonstrated that education and telephone follow‐up intervention based on Roy Adaptation Model was had positive and significant results after 12 weeks compared with usual care. The findings of this study are important for supporting nursing practice and health professionals who care for individuals with myocardial infarction to develop nursing care.
